Installation

Please, note that you will need the Policy Manager version 14.20 to be able to install and manage Linux Security 64.

Answers

We will be very disappointed if you can't install and use the command line client without having a Policy Manager. What we do is install the single client and programmatically do manual command line scans on the server (then we process and store the output from the scanner). We don't need on-access or integrity checking functionality (surely this can be turned off?). I hope it will be possible to purchase single licenses like before.

Thanks for the reply. If we have to get the PM and Server license, it doesn't matter so much, as long as we are able to use the command line client as before (i.e. turn off on-access and read stdout/stderr and exit codes from the command line client ).

I would like to understand how this tiny, 3MB sized "F-Secure 64 for Linux Security" package is able to meet or exceed the anti-virus and other protective capabilities of the previous, almost 200MB sized "FSAV Linux Security 11.10.68" package?

Change Log

New Linux Security 64 installation package has been released. The new installation package adds support for using Linux Security 64 in stand-alone deployments. The new installation package requires Policy Manager version 14.30 or newer. The previous installation package is still available for users with older Policy Manager versions.

New Linux Security 64 Update has been released. This update includes the following changes:

Change Log

CSLP-3561: Fixed scheduled scanner issue with renaming and deleting harmful files as a non-root user in directories with the sticky bit set.

CSLP-3356: To support isolated environments with restricted network connectivity, Linux Security 64 can now also be activated by using content stored on the file system (without downloading data over the network), and automatic product and virus definition database updates over the network can be disabled at installation time.

CSLP-3614: Fix memory leak in scheduled scanning service.

Added support for Policy Manager Proxies.

Added support for stopping/starting all the services related to the product.

Linux Security 64 now prevents locally changing settings that are marked as locked in Policy Manager.

Miscellaneous enhancements and bug fixes.

Known Issues

CSLP-3651: Product installation may fail with errors about installing databases when installing the product using a content package. As a workaround, try uninstalling the product as instructed in the Uninstalling the product section of the User Guide and retry the installation.

The offline-update program will always install all product updates immediately, regardless of any customizations made in the product configuration to the schedule for installing updates.

Great release, thank you. We were waiting for the return of the Policy Manager Proxy support. I see that the Linux Security 64 user manual was not updated : where can I find a documentation explaining how to link to a Policy Manager Proxy ?
